BACKGROUND: With the increasing prevalence of digital devices and internet access, digital resources have become essential for educating patients with chronic diseases. We explored the patient perspective on health-related internet searches among Korean patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
METHODS: We collected data through a Google Survey from 344 SLE patients. The survey covered demographics, preferred digital devices and sources, and digital information content, and participants' views on digital resources. We analyzed patient characteristics associated with digital resource usage.
RESULTS: Of the 344 patients, 270 reported using the internet to acquire disease-related information, including the association between nutrition and SLE, general information on SLE, and coping strategies for SLE management. SLE-related searches on the internet were more common in patients younger than 40 years (p = 0.002), those with fewer than 15 years of disease duration (p < 0.001), and those with higher education levels (p = 0.022). Disease duration was independently associated with internet use. Patients reported that internet searches for information on SLE improved their understanding of the disease in 181 cases and motivated self-management in 166 cases. In addition, 98 patients found it helpful to make a shared decision with physicians.
CONCLUSION: Health-related searches on the internet are widely used by SLE patients to gather comprehensive information on the disease and to address unmet needs. The positive impact of SLE-related internet searches on disease understanding and self-management emphasizes the importance of developing high-quality digital resources to improve patient education and self-care for the disease.
